Energy-Saving Illuminated Cosmetic Container

Abstract

An energy-saving illuminated cosmetic container includes a container including a cover, an externally threaded hollow projection on the cover; a cover; a carrier in the cover and including an axial passageway, threads on an inner surface of the passageway for threadedly securing to the external threads, and an internal conductor; an illumination assembly in the carrier and including a light sensor, a light, a positive electrode member at one end, and a negative electrode member at the other end; a cosmetic stick including an applicator at one end and an attaching member at the other end; a sealing ring put on the cosmetic stick; and a biasing member having one end urging against the passageway to electrically connect to the negative electrode member, and the other end urging against a negative electrode of a cell assembly. A positive electrode of the cell assembly is spaced from the conductor.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A energy-saving illuminated cosmetic container comprising:
 a container including an internal space, a cover releasably mounted on a forward opening of the container, an axial, hollow projection formed on the cover and having an axial passage communicating with the internal space, and external threads;   a cover including an interior space;   a carrier disposed in the interior space and including an axial passageway, internal threads on a portion of an inner surface of the passageway for threadedly securing to the external threads, and a releasable internal conductor adjacent to the internal threads;   an illumination assembly disposed in the carrier and including a light sensor, at least one light electrically connected to the light sensor, a positive electrode member at one end proximate both the light sensor and the at least one light, and a negative electrode member at the other end distal both the light sensor and the at least one light;   a cosmetic stick including a releasable applicator at one end, and an attaching member at the other end and disposed in the passageway, the attaching member having an urging element;   a resilient sealing ring including a hole placed on a rear portion of the cosmetic stick adjacent to the attaching member, and a recess; and   a biasing member having one end urging against an opening of the passageway to electrically connect to the negative electrode member, and the other end urging against a negative electrode of a cell assembly wherein a positive electrode of the cell assembly is spaced from the releasable internal conductor which is electrically connected to the positive electrode member.   
     
     
         2 . The cosmetic container of  claim 1 , wherein the container further comprises a plugging member including an axial hole communicating with the internal space, and an annular flange at one end, the annular flange disposed at an opening of the passage to urge against the sealing ring. 
     
     
         3 . The cosmetic container of  claim 1 , further comprising a mirror provided one out side of the container. 
     
     
         4 . The cosmetic container of  claim 1 , wherein the releasable applicator is either a sponge head or a lip brush. 
     
     
         5 . The cosmetic container of  claim 1 , wherein the light is a light-emitting diode (LED). 
     
     
         6 . The cosmetic container of  claim 1 , wherein the light sensor is a photoresistor.
